Teen girl brutally stabbed to death in India, sparking outrage.

A 16-year-old girl was brutally stabbed and bludgeoned to death in a public alleyway in Delhi, India, on Sunday, leading to renewed outrage over women's safety and violence committed by men in the country. The incident, captured on security camera, showed multiple people passing by as the attacker repeatedly struck the victim, with only one man attempting to intervene briefly. The victim's body was discovered in the Shahbad Dairy area of Rohini, Delhi. Indian police announced the arrest of a male suspect named Sahil, a mechanic, in connection with the murder. Authorities believe the crime may have been a "crime of passion." The incident has sparked widespread anger and highlights the ongoing issue of violence against women in India. The country has faced criticism for not doing enough to protect women and hold perpetrators accountable. Delhi's Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, expressed sadness and concern over the growing fearlessness of criminals. Swati Maliwal, chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women, described the incident as extremely frightening and emphasized that Delhi has become increasingly unsafe for women and girls. India has long struggled to address gender violence, consistently ranking poorly in global assessments. Data from India's National Crime Records Bureau indicates an increase in crimes against women, with a 20% rise in 2020 compared to 2013. Activists believe these figures underestimate the true extent of the problem due to underreporting, particularly in cases of rape. Experts argue that addressing the issue requires addressing deep-rooted societal norms and patriarchal attitudes. Merely implementing surveillance systems and deploying security personnel is deemed insufficient. Yogita Bhayana, founder of People Against Rapes in India, emphasized the need to tackle the mindset of men and boys. The victim's father, Janak Raj, expressed grief and frustration, stating that no one came to his daughter's aid during the attack. He mourned the loss of his daughter, who had contributed to the family's finances through tutoring. The incident has left him devastated and questioning how to move forward. The tragedy serves as a grim reminder of the urgent need for India to take decisive action to protect women, challenge societal norms, and bring perpetrators to justice.
